Failed to Write - No Write Current

[dimitar]

Hi, there. I have burned several disks of the same lot before, but now have two consecutive failures. IB writes for 2-3 munites and then all of a sudden fails. What does this error mean? Is it the disks or am I doing something wrong here (I am new to IB)? Thanks in advace!

G'day. A couple of things. Matshita drives aren't the best. They're cheap and pretty nasty (which is why none of us has one). These disks are the biggest problem though. They're really bad for both reliability and quality. Grab yourself some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media and most of your problems should dissapear.

Laptop drives have never really been anygood , ive ahd 5 laptop machines over the years and every 1 of them have failed in 1 way or another . The dvd drives are worse than standard cd drives.

your best dvice is to get a decent external burner for starters.

regrading the media your using, refer to Shamus'sssssss comments above

 

it may be worth while changing the write speed from MAX to 2x,or even 1x but again, get an external burner
